There is a little digression, early on, in which Jukes feels that MacWhirr is an insensitive soul, because MacWhirr was not at all bothered when the ship's Thai Chinese owners chose to re-register her in Bangkok, under the Siamese flag, to qualify for cargo preference, rather than the Red Ensign that she came out from Scotland with. Having spent a fair part of my life in shipping on the China Coast I perhaps notice these things.
